    the present management team have failed to improve either the team or tactics. Another two points surrended yesterday against a very poor physical side.

    Morais lacks passion and fails to inspire the players, he may speak several languages but his vocabulary does not include the word passion. Assistant coach Dimas has not improved the basics, set pieces and throw-ins are pathetic and yeterday Yiadom even managed to commit a foul throw. Physical coach Cunha has players in the squad who cannot last 90 minutes and how they brought in players such as Pinillos, Mahoney and Knasmuller while failing to sign a capable keeper beggars belief.

    Once again a one goal lead was thrown away as happened against Norwich, Hull and Bristol City twice. It's obvious we cannot defend a one goal lead yet continue to go defensive and retreat without offering a tackle. The number of corners we conceded in the second half was ridiculous, it was only a matter of time before Bolton scored. After losing the influential Potts, Morais should have replaced him with the physical presence of Cavare and how Mahoney gets game time is beyond me. After substitutions the side loses any shape they had and players seem unsure of their role.

    Whatever league we are in next season Morais and Dimas will struggle and after Yiadom and McBurnie have gone the only players worth keeping are Jackson, Pinnock, Lindsey, Potts, Cavare, Mallan, Hammill, Hedges and Moore. The following need replacing ;

    Davies - indecisive and does not command his area.
    Pearson - Laegue 2 standard.
    McCarthy - as above.
    Pinillos - cannot defend.
    Fryers - too casual.
    Isgrove - injury prone.
    Moncur - no heart, shuns 50/50 tackles.
    Thiam - inconsistent and cannot score.
    Bradshaw - lightweight and plays of his heels.

    None of those players other than fryers and Davies would need replacing in L1. I don’t disagree with much of the rest though.

    Correct.

    It’s a disgrace the management team haven’t fixed structural problems 18 months in the making in 10 weeks

    Nobody asked for any miracles.. the new management team had 15 games to keep us up and am pretty sure we weren't in the bottom 3 when they took over... more than enough time to keep us up.. But admittedly we were on the at5e end of an awful 12 months.

    But seasons not over yet, am sure and would like to think he has a bit more than believe in his locker..

    Disagree over Davis , get his confidence back he,had two excellent seasons in division one & proved himself more than capable. I would like us to develop a settled back four & goalkeeper thus forming a more consistent unit , I know you always get injuries but a settled unit would be a step in the right direction

    The fitness levels of some our players is a disgrace, blowing out of their arses after 60 minutes, unfortunately this goes back to pre season and the awful preparation. Not a lot Morrais and the fitness coach can do about that right now, however I would expect this to be addressed before the start of next season.

    agree think this is the problem our team has . to many games could av been killed off , most of them are huffing and puffing after 60 minutes.

    Dont agree with the majority of that other than the Mahoney bit and moncur should be a bit fitter. I am now watching a team which is far more entertaing than heckys up to Feb side.

    The present management team didn't sign Pinillos,Knasmuller or Mahoney.And they couldn't sign a keeper because the window was shut.

    Not worth reading past the first sentence - go support someone massive.

    Fair point but we need someone more capable of challenging him for his place.
